Moldova is launching a new visa category for digital nomads, designed for professionals who work remotely.
The visa is intended for foreigners who can confirm their remote work and stable income.
It is valid for up to one year with the possibility of extension, allowing holders to work and live in the country between trips.
Requirements include proof of income above a certain threshold, medical insurance, and no criminal record.
Under the visa, holders will be able to take advantage of preferential tax treatment or special tax conditions depending on their place of residence.
The country seeks to strengthen its position as an attractive destination for IT and creative sector professionals. Digital nomads bring revenue to the economy through accommodation, rent, and consumption of services and goods. This further stimulates the development of infrastructure, coworking spaces, and international relations.
Moldova is joining the ranks of countries introducing special visa regimes to attract remote workers. Similar schemes are already in place in Georgia, Portugal, Estonia, and other countries seeking to strengthen their digital economies and diversify their sources of income.
